Susana Freitas, a leading figure in nanoelectronics and magnetic sensors — recognised among the 100 Women in Science and a Corresponding Member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences — is featured in the latest episode of the In Her Shoes podcast.

In this conversation, Susana shares the experiences that shaped her scientific journey, from growing up in a home where curiosity had no gender, to balancing a high-impact research career with raising five children. She reflects on leadership grounded in purpose, gender dynamics in high-tech environments, and the importance of choosing a career guided by joy and authenticity.

She also highlights her involvement in major initiatives such as MultispinAI, and the values she brings to her research team: resilience, trust, and motivation.
